Job Overview:
We are seeking a skilled Software Engineer with extensive experience in reverse engineering and proficiency with Ghidra to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for analyzing and understanding the behavior of binary executables, developing tools to automate reverse engineering tasks, and contributing to vulnerability research efforts. This role is ideal for individuals with a deep passion for cybersecurity, malware analysis, and low-level software engineering. This position is fully remote.

Responsibilities:

  • Reverse Engineering:
  • Utilize Ghidra, IDA Pro, and other reverse engineering tools to analyze software binaries and firmware to understand functionality, identify vulnerabilities, and document findings.
  • Disassemble, decompile, and debug software binaries to uncover how code operates and interacts within various systems and architectures (x86, ARM, MIPS, etc.).
  • Analyze obfuscated code, including packed or encrypted executables, and extract critical information about their operations.
  • Malware and Vulnerability Research:
  • Perform in-depth analysis of malicious software to understand its structure, behavior, and impact.
  • Collaborate with security researchers to identify zero-day vulnerabilities, propose exploit mitigations, and develop proof-of-concept exploits.
  • Participate in vulnerability research projects aimed at discovering software flaws and weaknesses within different platforms.
  • Tool Development and Automation:
  • Develop custom scripts, plugins, and automation tools for Ghidra and other reverse engineering platforms to optimize and speed up analysis workflows.
  • Implement software-based solutions for binary instrumentation, hooking, and monitoring execution in real-time environments.
  • Collaborate with development teams to create tools that enhance reverse engineering and vulnerability analysis capabilities.
  • Documentation and Reporting:
  • Document reverse engineering analysis processes, results, and findings in a detailed and methodical manner.
  • Prepare reports on vulnerabilities, exploits, and technical assessments to share with internal stakeholders and external partners.
  • Communicate complex technical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences, providing risk assessments and mitigation recommendations.
  • Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing:
  • Work closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, security researchers, and analysts to provide reverse engineering support and share expertise.
  • Stay up-to-date with new tools, techniques, and technologies in reverse engineering, malware analysis, and software security.
  • Provide mentorship and guidance to junior engineers and security researchers in the field of reverse engineering.
